Carrick's future in doubt as United management makes no decision

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick's position is increasingly under threat. According to information obtained by Sky Sports News, the club has not yet made a definitive decision about Carrick's future.

The club is carrying out a full, comprehensive review of the team's performance this season, led by football director Jason Wilcox. The decision is planned to be made before the international break ends.

Carrick was given a further spell in charge two weeks after being beaten 3-0 at home by Bournemouth. Management then gave him three more matches to change the team's direction. However, the side failed to win their eighth consecutive Premier League match, and after drawing 4-4 with Aston Villa, they slipped into the relegation zone. The club has recorded this season's start as the worst in Premier League history.

Management stresses that results must improve. It is unclear whether Carrick will be in charge when the team faces Liverpool at Anfield next weekend. The club reportedly wants to avoid appointing an interim head coach if it dismisses Carrick. However, no formal talks have yet taken place with possible candidates.
